What do I think about Society and the People in It?
7 years ago
I think society is pretty stupid actually. And there's a lot of objective evidence to help any logical person who has the strength of character to step outside of their own selfish perspective of lavishing in the privileges of society to draw the very same conclusions. In other words, if you were self-confident and self-sufficient enough - human enough, you too would see how immature and illogical society is.
Consider some observable facts about society versus nature:
Fact one: a human being in the context of society is completely dependent upon society for their survival, while even highly inbred and genetically screwed up domesticated animals like dogs can somehow magically take care of themselves. Why is it that human beings, supposedly the most intelligent species on the planet, are somehow completely unable to be self-sufficient? Simply because they are systematically trained by the educational systems and cultures of society to be completely and totally dependent upon society. In other words, society makes human beings far less capable and intelligent than they should be.
Fact two: Global warming. Here mankind is using stored solar energy (that's where oil came from: plants and animals which died and were buried over a period of 500 million years) at a rate that is equal to about 2.5million times the rate at which it was stored. That's right, mankind is using up 500 million years of what changed the earth's atmosphere into something in which we could survive and thrive in a matter of 200 years. That's YOUR future world that is being systematically turned into something you won't be able to survive in for very long. In nature, any animal that systematically destroyed it's own environment wouldn't survive as a species, would it? Not very intelligent of us, is it? Or is it that it isn't very HUMAN?
So, humans can't take care of themselves because society made them all too stupid; and society has mankind using up a store of energy which, when released, undoes half a billion years of natural terraforming which made this planet suitable for our very existence. That doesn't sound very intelligent. And when you consider that there are a lot of people who are in charge of doing just that, who know what it is doing and who don't care, you can clearly see that there is something wrong on a grand scale.
I may be very highly intelligent, but you don't have to be to see what's going on in the world. Anyone can clearly see that things aren't right. But if you are hopelessly addicted to the privileges offered by society, then of course you can only see the "good" of society, and you will never see the truth. It's no coincidence that these privileges, including those offered by fossil fuels, distract you from the reality of society. Human beings have been conditioned by society to believe themselves above nature while simultaneously being blinded to the effects society has on the planet and thus our own future.
Neither do you have to be very intelligent to be able to take care of yourself. As I pointed out above, even a highly inbred animal, a dog, can take care of itself, something I have personally observed. Where I live here in Mexico are wild dogs, the result of years of animals which were long ago abandoned, breeding and surviving. These dogs are extremely inbred, their litters suffering losses due to fatal birth defects and the adults so frail as to not survive even the most superficial injury. Yet somehow, these dogs manage to make it.
Now imagine if these dogs had a leader, one who was intelligent and strong and who knew exactly how to survive, and even how to improve their lot in life by preventing further inbreeding? These dogs wouldn't be stuck in this industrial park, they would be living in the hills, just as wolves live wild and free, supported by their love for each other, their intelligence, and the natural food available to them. They would do quite well actually, and all because they have among them one who could show them how to be self-sufficient.
I don't have to imagine, because that is precisely what I have done with my life. In my mind, even as a young child, I knew that society wasn't the place for me because it was occupied by people far less intelligent, far less mature, and far less selfless in perspective than I. At age 5, I realized how stupid my mother was, a year after I let myself believe her crocodile tears as I was being removed from the home at my own request. A year later I smoked one of my dad's cigarette butts to confirm my suspicion that he was stupid enough to put something in his lungs that did in fact kill him just over 30 years later. And while reading books in the library where I studied the first few months of second grade to avoid the worst treatment by my bullying classmates, I realized that I had no place in a society that would treat an innocent child like myself the way it did, and that I would, like the character in "My Side of the Mountain" do a lot better taking care of myself than letting society have that job.
Society bullies those who dare to think and act for themselves. Look at how society treats stray dogs, or at least how it used to and still does in some places: it round them up and kills them! These are innocent animals, created by society (remember that we captured wolves and bred them to be all breeds of dogs we see today!). If these animals don't live as society dictates, they are rounded up and killed. And history shows that mankind has long done the same thing, the Holocaust being the most glaring example in recent history, at least that most are aware of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persi.....of_1917–1919 - Britain slaughtered 10million Iranians between 1917 and 1919, but we don't hear about that because society loves to cover up its crimes from us.) Bullying is ingrained in society, and anyone who dares question society is bullied into submission.
Society has no place for human beings, that should be clear to anyone who is a true human being. But society isolates us, insulates us from nature and it's reality and forces human beings into an unnatural world they don't belong and in which they are pressured to behave in ways which are not human. Society even goes so far as to tell us how to have relationships - marriage is NOT natural. Not one single mammal in nature lives that way. The model religion used to force us into monogamous heterosexual relationships is birds. All other mammals anything like us socialize by gender and only intermingle for breeding and only some of those, such as wolves, share the burden of raising the young.
A conversation taking place as I write this between my son and I may help some of you understand just how bad society is. We were discussing how countries, such as Russia, are able to get things into space, including the possibility of weapons. Well, if he and I had the resources, we could do the same thing. Society isn't capable of such great feats; they are indeed only accomplished by talented, well educated, relatively intelligent people who happen to have unlimited resources, resources they have taken from you and I and hoarded for themselves; something they have been able to do only because society dictates our lives. Had my son and I the freedom to utilize the earth's resources as society has, we wouldn't be here on this planet anymore, we'd already have achieved my long term goal of hitching a ride on a asteroid bound for another galaxy!
Don't look to society for answers, only look to society for answers as to why things are not as they seem like they should be. Better yet, look to people like my son and I, people who are working towards complete and total self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Why? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret, something society does NOT want you to be aware of: Freedom can only come from self-reliance. If you depend upon society for ANYTHING, you are not free. In other words, society's greatest lie is the concept of freedom. What society says is freedom is actually privilege. Take that in for a second when considering the country you live in. If that's America, you have been taught that America is the "freest country in the world." But if you really look, especially at the facts, Americans are not the most free, they are the most privileged.
Maybe freedom isn't for everyone. But let me ask you: would you rather have the privileges that society is quickly not being able to afford to provide, or would you rather have the privileges offered by being even just a submissive pet as part of our family, a family roaming free on the planet, unconcerned with society and it's problems?
